The Zeiss CP.2 Prime Lens Set comprises popular full-frame cinema primes. These lenses offer excellent optical performance with the characteristic “Zeiss look,” known for contrast and color. They feature consistent physical dimensions and mechanical design across most focal lengths, facilitating quicker lens changes. The interchangeable mount system supports broad camera compatibility (PL, EF, F, MFT). They provide a long, smooth 300° focus rotation and a de-clicked iris for seamless exposure adjustments. The lenses are housed in a robust, all-metal cine-style body.

Utilising Versatile Cine Primes
This is a highly popular and widely used set in professional filmmaking, offering a range of focal lengths suitable for various cinematic needs, from wide establishing shots to tight close-ups. It’s a reliable workhorse for diverse productions.
Embracing the Classic “Zeiss Look”
These lenses are known for their distinctive optical characteristics, including high contrast, accurate colour reproduction, and natural-looking skin tones. This gives your footage a clean, crisp, and pleasing aesthetic.
Consistent Mechanics for Efficient Workflow
Most lenses in the set share consistent physical dimensions and gear positions, which streamlines lens changes and accessory setups (matte box, follow focus) on set, saving valuable production time.
Exceptional Versatility with Interchangeable Mount System
A significant advantage of the CP.2s is their interchangeable mount system, allowing the lenses to be easily adapted to different camera systems (PL, EF, F, MFT, etc.) by simply swapping the rear mount. This future-proofs your investment.
Precise Focus Control
They feature a long, smooth 300° focus rotation, providing precise and repeatable focus pulls essential for cinema. This tactile control allows for delicate and accurate focus transitions.
Smooth & Silent Aperture Adjustments
The de-clicked iris means the aperture ring is silent and stepless, allowing for smooth iris adjustments during recording without audible clicks, which is crucial for maintaining clean audio.
